Dilation of generalized Toeplitz kernels on ordered groups (Q852584)

A kernel function \(K(x,y)\) is called Toeplitz if \(K(x,y)=k(x-y)\) for a function \(k(t)\). According to the paper [\textit{M. Cotlar} and \textit{C. Sadosky}, Proc. Symp. Pure Math., Vol. 35, 383--407 (1979; Zbl 0448.42008)] \(K(x,y)\) is a generalised Toeplitz kernel if there are four functions \(k_{\alpha \beta}\), \(\alpha,\beta=1,2\), such that \(K(x,y)=k_{\alpha \beta }(x-y)\), where the subscript \(\alpha\) \((\beta)\) takes the value \(1\) for negative \(x\) \((y)\) and the value \(2\) otherwise. This makes sense for kernels defined on the sets of integer and real numbers or even on an ordered group. In the paper under review the authors introduce a more general concept of Toeplitz-Kreĭn-Cotlar triplet on an ordered group, which is a particular case of the Toeplitz-Kreĭn-Cotlar form in the sense of [\textit{R. Arocena}, J. Oper. Theory 21, No. 2, 323--347 (1989; Zbl 0709.47002)]. For such triplets the authors prove extensions of the Kreĭn extension theorem, the Sz.-Nagy and Foias commutant lifting theorem and the generalised Herglotz-Bochner-Weil theorem.
